Ben Stokes is ruled out of the Scotland ODI and part of the Australia ODI series
England all-rounder Ben Stokes will miss the ODI against Scotland in Edinburgh and will be unavailable for the first part of the five-match Royal London ODI series against Australia as he recovers from a left hamstring tear.
Stokes, who sustained the injury in the build-up to the NatWest Test match at Headingley against Pakistan, will be assessed later this week. He will continue his rehabilitation programme and will return to his county side Durham on Monday.
Middlesex batsman Dawid Malan has been added to the squad for the Scotland game on Sunday, June 10 and Kent batsman Sam Billings has been drafted into the squad for the Australia series, which gets underway at the Kia Oval on Wednesday, June 13.
